My crusty merc is very cheap to look after but expensive to fuel. Our 11 year old Doblo does 20,000 miles a year usually loaded with stuff and has only let us down once in 60,000 miles so far. It can still do 55mpg +.
Even new cars are not as 'clean' as they are touted - current diesels expel more nasty gasses at idle or low city speeds than their ten year old brethren. Its something to do with the Euro NCAP testing - its done at speed but not at idle or city speeds. Look it up, the gasses have pushed lung problems in young children!
My 62 plate Peugeot Partner can barely get 47mpg, it supposed to be 'green'!
